and in the maintenance of the historic buildings and features
of the Keep, so entrusted to it by an Act of Parliament. More
generally the Museum works to explore, preserve, and interpret
Bermuda’s history and heritage.

Bermuda Registered Charity (No. 136). The Museum’s operations,
and its full range of projects and programmes are funded by
